[12:21] <cmaloney> Why didn't anyone tell me about Turses before?
[12:22] <cmaloney> (Actually, I think I knew about it, but it got a lot nicer since then)
[14:12] <mathomastech> Sad day. Just fund out the LUG group where I am moving is no longer active. Nearest one is downtown Minneapolis.
[14:15] <brousch> Not sad. Revive it!
[14:16] <brousch> Reviving our local LUG eventually led to us starting a new makerspace
[14:30] <cmaloney> Yeah, that's an opportunity calling
[19:03] <cmaloney> BTW: Looking to reschedule the monthly meeting one week earlier as I'll be AFK 10/6
[19:03] <cmaloney> New meeting time is 9/29
[19:14] <greg-g> mathomastech: where are you moving to?
[19:17] <DrDaemonEye> cmaloney: same time?
[19:17] <cmaloney> Same time
[19:17] <cmaloney> Just different date
[19:17] <DrDaemonEye> cool.  I'll be here... probably finishing up a ham radio net
[20:48] <greg-g> Carrie's last phone died from bubble solution. There's a cheap waterproof (to 3 feet) phone from Ting. Couldn't convince her to get it since it was only 3g
[21:10] <mathomastech1> greg-g  Northfield, MN
[21:11] <mathomastech1> brousch: Reviving it is something I am considering. Not sure how much luck I will have. Don't know many locals yet to get involved with it or to speak. But with 2 colleges in town, I bet I can get the word out to students.
[21:18] <greg-g> oh, he's gone
[21:18] <greg-g> yeah, Northfield is a bit away from MPLS
[21:21] <greg-g> mathomastech: ah yeah, Northfield, confusingly south of MPLS ;)
[21:21]  * greg-g used to live in MPLS for... 6 years?
[21:22] <greg-g> I still have my 612 area code phone number ;)
[21:22] <greg-g> s/;)/:)/ #no wink required
[21:22] <mathomastech> greg-g: Heh, yea. But it is North of a field.
[21:24] <mathomastech> Gah!  I have my IRC running on my work computer since it's up 24/7, except for the last 2 days the external internet has been on the frits (hence all the disconnects and reconnects) Finally got it running on my home computer. That should spam you all a lot less now.
[21:26] <mathomastech> So, any suggestions on how to revive a local LUG? I bet I can get a lot of students interested, there are 2 colleges in town.
[21:27] <greg-g> mathomastech: let's see, how did I do this Michigan LoCo thing?
[21:27] <greg-g> step 1) ignore all past attempts
[21:27] <greg-g> step 2) get jcastro to round up the good people
[21:27] <greg-g> step 3) beer
[21:27] <greg-g> that's pretty much what I did, and it seemed to have some lasting effect, not sure on quality ;)
[21:29] <mathomastech> Awesome!
[21:29] <mathomastech> j-castro: Care for a road trip out to Minnesota?:
